Fleet Line Markers draw Jubilee flag on Malvern Rugby Club pitch

Fleet Line Markers staff have been working at Malvern Rugby Club all week painting the special display on the main pitch.

From Monday to Wednesday the team was preparing for the big reveal later this week.

Iain Courage, from Fleet Line Markers, explained: "We have been working hard inbetween the rain showers, which make things a bit more difficult as it is water-based paint."

The final design will be a 60-metres by 40-metres Union flag, with the official emblem of the Jubilee in the middle.

Now the newest photos show some of what it will look like when it is finished, with a drone to fly over and take a full picture later this week for the full reveal.

Fleet Line Markers hit the headlines during the pandemic when they painted a giant VE Day and NHS tribute on the pitch at Malvern RFC.

That same year, they also painted a rainbow on the pitch at Upton Rugby Club.

The 30-metre rainbow took five hours to paint and lasted around three weeks, being specially designed so Midlands Air Ambulance crews from Strensham could see it while taking off.
